During his loan spell at Celtic in the second half of the 2024-25 season, Schlupp was teammates with former Norwich striker Adam Idah.
He said the Irishman told him that a move to Norfolk would be a wise choice.
“He’s told me about some of the places to live and what to expect here. He said he had a great time here and I wish him all the best.”
Schlupp is known for his versatility on the pitch and is happy in a wide postion, either in the defence or midfield.
“The last few years I’ve played predominantly on the left side, whether that’s been left of a midfield three, wing-back or left-back.
He added: “I can play all the way up and down the left side.”
Schlupp is one of nine new signings for City, so far, and has been impressed with his new teammates.
He said: “It’s a really talented squad. I’ve only trained with everyone for the last two or three days, so there’s so much more to see, but you can already see the quality in the play of the lads.
“We’ve got another pre-season game before the season kicks off (against NAC Breda on Saturday), so I’m just going to look forward to getting to know the lads more.”
The Canaries kick off their Championship season on Saturday, 9 August at home to Millwall (15:00 BST).
